NW10

Recently, I picked up a sample of MAC Studio Fix liquid in NW10 to try out. Here I am wearing it!

On my eyes, I used Urban Decay shadows: Mushroom on the lid, AC/DC in and above the crease, and Ecstasy smudged into liner on the lowers. I used UD Perversion pencil liner along both lash lines. On the uppers, I smudged Perversion eyeshadow into it, under Mushroom.

I applied the Studio Fix using my fingers. I found that a little goes a long way and also I needed to work quickly as it dries rather fast. I am very pleased with the coverage and lasting power! The color match is excellent, as well. Normally I wear foundations that are a tiny bit darker than this and either bronze my neck to match or can't even be bothered to do that! It's weird seeing myself in a color that matches my neck closely but also doesn't totally wash me out.

It's pretty hard to tell, but I've used UD Asphyxia pencil along the water line. In my brows is Anastasia powder duo in Ash Blonde (just the lighter side). Also, I'm testing out a sample of DiorShow Iconic OverCurl mascara. It's not super dramatic, but it does get major points for wearing extremely well on both my upper and lower lash lines (most mascaras smudge terribly on my lower lashes).

I'd like to try mixing some radiance primer or something a bit glowy into the Studio Fix to see how that goes. It's a bit more matte than what I'm used to!

Let's not forget lips and blush! I'm wearing Illamasqua Katie Blusher and Korres Lip Butter Glaze in Jasmine (I later switched to a brighter rose lip, which I really liked with these colors). I also used Nars New Order (or did I? I'm fairly certain I did!) for a shimmery cheek highlight - but it's not evident whatsoever in these pictures.

About Me

I love color, beauty, creativity, animals, and being care-free. I'm not care-free, in reality, but would like to think it's an attainable state of being! I do like to bend the rules when it serves a greater purpose and I'm all about being authentic. Here I am, take me or leave me! I suppose I'd call myself a sensitive soul. I think I feel things more deeply and ponder things more thoroughly than your average bear.
